Thunderstorm.
Watching a Thunderstorm

I watched a thunderstorm, far out over the sea. It began quietly, and with
nothing visible except dark clouds and a rolling tide. There was just a soft
murmur of thunder as I watched the horizon from my balcony.

I was looking up when the first clear thunderbolt struck. It blazed against
the sky and sea. The thunder rumbled and stuttered as if it could hardly
keep up. There were openings in the clouds now, as if the sky were torn.
I looked down then, watching the waves getting rough, rising high and
crashing hard enough that I could hear them. Then, it started to rain.

In an instant, it stopped. The storm broke. The clouds came apart like
curtains. The rain still fell, but softly now. It was as if there had never
been a storm at all, except for a single signature.
